Review: Kent & Stowe have clearly thought this through - Bought to replace a £7 pair of snips that had rounded ends, a strap for a lock, and blades that had a gap between them when closed so they tended to crush the stems to death rather than cut cleanly. I paid £9.95 for this Kent and Stowe pair and they're worth every penny. I've used them to deadhead Petunias, Calendula, French Marigolds, Osteospermum and roses. I also use them for harvesting Basil, Mint, Chives, Coriander, Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Sunflowers. They struggle to cut courgette stems purely down to it pushing the limits of maximum diameter. Remember they are snips so they will not replace secateurs for woody stems. The blades are sharp and cut cleanly. When closed the blades are as close as a pair of secateurs so no mangling of stems. The points are perfect for getting into tight spaces accurately. I haven't needed to sharpen them yet but there's plenty of meat on the blade and they're fixed by a crosshead screw and nut so they should be easy to dismantle. The sliding locking mechanism works equally well using one or both hands. It doesn't accidentally slide down and spring open even if you squeeze the handles together repeatedly. If you're wearing gloves it's not quite as easy to use as the catch style lock on secateurs but it's so much easier than a strap style lock. The spring is sturdy but narrow enough that it doesn't pinch your skin if you aren't wearing gloves. The handles have the type of silicone you get on Oxo Good Grips kitchen equipment so they're soft on your flesh but they don't slip. The curved handle shape allows you to rest your thumb quite naturally and comfortably up near the spring. It also means your thumb doesn't slide up the blade. They also sit comfortably if you use the ball of your thumb instead. If you're not sure of suitability for your hand size - I wear a 'Large' size Marigold kitchen glove, my palm is 3.5" (9cm) across They are sturdy so they do weigh a little more than my previous snips. The pair I received weighs 4.7 oz (132g) but I actually feel more confident using them because that little bit of extra weight means I know I'm holding them - those of you with arthritic hands will know what I mean. If they are a bit stiff in first use and don't close smoothly I found a quick shot of WD40 sorts them out.
Review: Works well - Nice clean cut and easy to use. one negative ive found is the lock can sometimes slide up which then has to be moved back down to squeeze the handles together to make a cut but not too much of a problem so otherwise all good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little snips.
*by J***. on 8 April 2023*

These are my second pair of these snips, they're my go too gardening cutters. I use them for all my light pruning, dead heading, taking out side shoots etc. They're lightweight & easy to use, I give them a little spray of WD40 in winter after I've cleaned & sharpend them. Can & do recommend them to friends.
